GEORGE \V. DALTON, OF ENOLA, ARKANSAS.

UMBRELLA-HOLDER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 437,681, datedOctober '7, 1890. Application filed June 3,1890 Serial No. 354,086. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GEORGE W. DALTON, a citizen of the United States, residing at- Enola, in the county of Faulkner and State of Arkansas, have invented a new and useful Umbrella- Holder, of which the following is a specification.

My invention is an improvement in umbrella-holders.

The object of my invention is to provide a simple portable device for supporting umbrellas or light canopies used by artists and other outdoor workers.

The invention resides in the various novel details of construction, and in the combination of parts, hereinafter fully described, and particularly pointed out in the claim.

The drawings illustrate my invention, and in which and in this specification like letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

Figure 1 is a view in elevation showing my device, a part of the umbrella having been removed. Fig. 2 is a detail view of the looped Wire.

In the drawings, A designates the ground; B, the standard or support; O, an umbrella.

The standard B has its lower end pointed and provided with a metal sheath b to protect it in driving in the ground. Above the sheath 1) is a wire bent to form a foot-rest b, to aid in setting the standard in the ground. The upper end b of the standard is pointed. About the length of an umbrella-handle from the top is a strap b retained by a headed lug or pin 1).

The umbrella O has ahandle 0, on which is a runner c.

D is a wire bentinto a loop (I, twisted and bent into another loop d in the plane of the loop d and the ends finished 01f by twisting. This looped wire D is either permanently attached to the runner c of an umbrella by loop d or is twisted thcreabout when occasion requires.

Having set my standard up in the ground, to attach an umbrella is very simple. Place the looped wire D upon the runner of the umbrella and let its loop (I reston the pointed end I) of the standard. Now bind the handle c of the umbrella to the standard by passing the strap 17 around them both a few times, holding it in place by means of the pin 1), passing through an eyein the strap near each end.

Having thus fully described my invention, What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

The standard 13, having its ends pointed, the lower one provided with the metal sheath b and the foota-estb', in combination with the handle 0, the runner c, the looped wire D, and the straps b substantially as and forthe purpose set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto affixed my signature in presence of two witnesses.

GEORGE \V. DALTON.
